Sarah has a rectangular swimming pool that measures 12 feet(ft) by 72ft across the surface. To the nearest foot, what is the diagonal distance across the surface of the pool?
A.60ft
B.71ft
C.73ft
D.84ft
重点单词：
calculate ['kælkjuleit]v. 计算，估计，核算，计划，认为
diagonal [dai'ægənl]adj. 对角线的，斜的，斜纹的 n. 对角线，斜线，斜
negative ['negətiv]adj. 否定的，负的，消极的n. 底片，负
context ['kɔntekst]n. 上下文，环境，背景
rectangular [rek'tæŋgjulə]n. 矩形
multiple ['mʌltipl]adj. 许多，多种多样的
答案：C
解析：
Choice C is correct. The Pythagorean theorem can beused to calculate the diagonal length of theswimming pool surface where a and b are the sidelengths of the pool surface.
c²=a²+b²=12²+72²=5328, c≈±73
A negative distance is not possible in this context, so the diagonal distance across the swimming pool surface is about 73ft.
